|
| Q: |
Can I use the Carcoon outdoors under my carport? |
|
| A: |
We do not recommend the single skin unit for outdoor use. However the Double Skin was designed to be used outdoors. This is made using a very special alloy coated material called MVCR. This material is used on the outer of the two skins and alone blocks 99.9% of damaging UV Rays, this silver coating also stops the build-up of heat inside the unit, by blocking the Infra Red light. Internal temperatures are further stabilised by using a three piece insulated base mat, making special use of insulating foam technology. |

| Q: |
Does the Carcoon constantly blow large volumes of air into the bubble? |
|
| A: |
The Carcoon has two modes of operation; the first is the initial drying mode where maximum airflow across a warm vehicle removes all the moisture. This establishes a dry car in a dry environment. The essential drying mode is followed by the equally important storage mode, here airflow from the ambient is effectively blocked by the super atmospheric re-circulating airflow through the Activated Carbon filters, these filters are fitted on the inside of the two air treatment units. |
|
| Q: |
How much does the Carcoon Airflow System cost to run? |
|
| A: |
The Carcoon uses two 12volt 220ma ventilators, and each ventilator costs a minute 1penny per day to run, this amounts to less than £10 to run continuously for a whole year. The Bike bubble uses only one ventilator; therefore the running costs are halved. |
|
| Q: |
How long do the filters last? |
|
| A: |
The primary filters are the first barrier against airborne pollutants, therefore it makes perfect sense to keep these washable filters clean, changing them every couple of years or so depending on the storage conditions. The inner Activated Carbon Filters are constantly working 24-7 to improve the storage conditions within the Carcoon therefore for best results the Carbon filters should be changed after the equivalent of one year's continual use. Normal winter only use this equates to every two years. |
|
| Q: |
What size do I need for my car? |
|
| A: |
The Carcoon is made in four standard sizes; size 3 is the smallest - suits cars up to MGB etc, through to size 6 Rolls Royce sized vehicles. Special sizes are also listed to 7 and 8, these are not normally stock items. Also note that the inflated Carcoon is a little wider (width only) than the base mat, to calculate inflated width for any size add 30cm to the listed base width. If in doubt contact us to request the size needed for your car. |
